There is no exclusion
You are my sister
You are safe here with me
You are my sister
My sister is every woman in the world
I’ll nurture you forever
You are my sister
Please nurture me forever
You are my sister

Tell me what it’s like to be in the pocket of a pulse
12 stories above the city and everyone else
I said I’d come smoke with you when I had nothing else to do
Because I wanna see you again
Tell me what it’s like to be in the pocket of a pulse
12 stories above the city and everyone else
I told you my secrets and you told me “thank you”
I wish that more people would react just like you
Holly, I don’t wanna leave here
I just wanna stay
Tell me when I can see you again
I’m walking home alone tonight
A coat with no gloves
But I’d rather be anywhere that you are
It was warm up where we were
So high above Chicago
You told me your secrets and I won’t repeat them
Holly, I don’t wanna leave here
I just wanna stay
Tell me when I can see you again
Holly, I just wanna live here
I just wanna stay
Tell me when I can see you again
I said I’d come smoke with you when I had nothing else to do
And I’m not doing anything tonight

Exhilaration
When the street names turn into numbers
And I see the Sears Tower
Exhilaration
Because I haven’t seen you since last June
And I just realized I like you
Exhilaration
This is no place to get lost in
But I’m safe when I’m with you
Exhilaration
Is why I’m shaking when I show you the directions
I wonder if you noticed
Exhilaration
As I feel my soul float higher
As you start to liberate me
Exhilaration
When the wind takes away the map I printed
And we don’t know where we’re going
Remember when I bought you coffee
And you called me princess
I’ve never wanted to be anybody else’s but yours
Exhilaration
When I’m running across State St. with you
To look for the train station

The sun hasn’t set in Bloomington
And there’s no one on the streets but us
It’s only 6 o’clock in Bloomington
And all of the shops are closed
Jacob keeps saying he hates Bloomington
I wanna ask him why
Does he have history?
Does it feel familiar here?
Because to me the city’s screaming “escape”
Why does it feel so haunted in this town?
Is it the wind from Normal blowing this way?
Or is it because you are here
And I know we can’t be together?
I’m not gonna ruminate on this today
Why does it feel so haunted in this town?
Is it the wind from Normal blowing this way?
Or is there history?
Because it feels familiar here
And oh my god, I just wanna escape

January’s full of realizations like
My heart doesn’t pound like this for anyone
In February, hope is growing under dirty snow
Safe inside my chest; I need to keep it close
We ran across State St. together
You told me you were cold
I think this love is mutual
I think this lust is mutual
Infatuation
In April, hope keeps growing even though it’s being crushed
And I keep wishing on that dandelion
Tonight’s the night where I sleep under my window waiting for you
Hoping you’ll come under the moon

I took the train to the city
I rode down to the city
I fell in love with the city
Right before I had to leave
It’s my last month in Chicago
The last song on this side of me
I don’t feel like I’m going far away
Just out of town
But it’s not a mistake that I’m leaving
It’s time to enter a new phase
And I keep telling myself it’s like I’m going out of town
But I don’t wanna go
I’ve never been great at moving
And I just got settled here
I feel safe in the city
And I don’t wanna go
But it’s not a mistake that I’m leaving
It’s time to enter a new phase
I hope that I’ll be okay
Is it alright that I’m scared?

Burnout

I’m stuck in 1987
And I’m not coming back to the present
You tell me the world needs my voice
But I’m so sick of shouting, don’t let me out
I’d scream at the top of my lungs because I’ve had enough
But I’m tired
There’s crooked pastors in Houston, TX
There’s nazis in the office; white people elected them
The religion of America is discrimination
And I’m not sorry to tell you it’s always been that way
Two days ago, it was a hate rally
And four days ago, it was nuclear war
And if you told me it wasn’t two weeks since that terrorist attack
Then I would just scream, “it’s too much. Can’t take anymore.”
You say I have a voice
There’s static in my throat
I’d scream at the top of my lungs because I’ve had enough
But I’m tired
Don’t you ever get tired?

Darling

I woke up thinking about you
You make me laugh in all my dreams too
I know this love is right
You make me feel so happy
I’ve never been afforded this softness
I’ve never done anything like this
But I love when you call me baby
And I wanna call you darling
I daydream about you constantly
Oh my god, I think you’re so pretty
There’s a blanket in my room
I wanna get underneath it with you
I wanna buy you coffee
I wanna call you baby
I’m so glad I’m nobody else’s
I’m yours

You told me you were sorry for not coming to the show
You told me you were sorry for not coming across the country to see me
Don't remember a word you said to me when we were sitting in the park
You didn't say much of anything
It was just me talking about what we are

When I Get Back Home
06:44

I don’t know when my plane leaves
I don’t know what day it takes off from Baltimore
I just know you’re there waiting for me
When I get back home
I don’t know what’s gonna happen six months from now
Three months from now
Or next week
But I know you’ll be there when I fly into O’Hare
And I’ll see you when I get back to Chicago
I’ll see you when I get back home
I don’t wanna spend New Year’s Eve with anyone but you
The heart burn doesn’t mean a thing and you know it never did
And I wanna serenade you every hour of the day
Can I do that when I get back home?
I don’t know what’s gonna happen a year from now
Six months from now
Or next week
But I know you love me; I can feel it from here

To All Ghosts
06:58
|

I cried the night before I went home
I don’t think this is who I want to be
Felt exhilaration and euphoria
And I refused to fix my broken heart
I spent all my time trying to disappear
Because I’m soaked in all of these hauntings
I got so lost in getting lost
That I forgot to say goodbye to me
And it’s snowing
And I can’t believe the new year is starting next week
And it’s snowing
And I didn’t say goodbye to all your ghosts before I had to leave
We left your house early and I still missed the train
But you made everything okay
The radio was on and all we did was sing
Until they started playing the same thing
Sometimes it’s nice to just sit in silence
Sometimes it’s better off that way
But you know I like it, sitting with you
And we don’t have to fill up the space
It’s been awhile since I felt that way
And it’s snowing
And I can’t believe that January starts next week
And it’s snowing
And I didn’t say goodbye to all my ghosts before I had to leave
And it’s snowing
It doesn’t feel like a new year to me
It’s snowing
My ghosts will stay behind
